RAVENDEN SPRINGS, Ark. — The 11 Point Showdown is set to return June 11–14, 2026, bringing four days of rodeo action, live music, and riverside camping to northeast Arkansas along the scenic 11 Point River near Ravenden Springs.
The annual event, hosted by 3R Events LLC, features a full slate of western sports and family-friendly entertainment designed to run from late morning into the night each day, with scheduled activities from 10 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. CDT.
Four Days of Western Competition and Entertainment
Organizers say the 2026 event will include championship bull riding, chuck wagon racing, and pasture roping, along with live music performances each night. The combination of high-adrenaline competition and festival-style entertainment has made the Showdown one of the more recognizable summer western events in the region.
Chuck wagon racing remains one of the featured attractions, pairing speed, teamwork, and tradition as teams navigate timed runs in front of spectators. Bull riding will anchor the competitive schedule, with professional riders taking on some of the most challenging stock in the region.
Pasture roping events will also be part of the lineup, offering additional competition for riders and adding variety to the weekend’s programming.
Camping Along the 11 Point River
One of the defining features of the 11 Point Showdown is its riverfront setting. Organizers offer primitive camping along the river, allowing attendees to stay on-site throughout the weekend.
The event is designed as an immersive outdoor experience, encouraging families and visitors to set up camp, enjoy the river, and stay close to the action across all four days.
Tickets, Family Access, and Food Vendors
Single-day tickets and weekend passes will be available, giving attendees flexibility depending on how long they plan to stay.
Children 10 and under are admitted free, reinforcing the event’s family-friendly focus.
Daily food vendors will be on-site throughout the weekend, offering a variety of food and refreshments for both campers and day visitors.
Music and Nighttime Atmosphere
Each evening features live music, extending the event well into the night. The mix of concerts, rodeo action, and campground gatherings creates a festival atmosphere that continues after the final rides of the day.
